You can import your Instapaper list to Read it later!

I receive questions about Instapaper support quite often. Lisgo plans to expand to get instapaper, google reader starred items, twitter favorite articles, and so on.

But, currently I am focusing on the basic features, usability improvements, and minor bug fixes. Basic features means something like offline mode, text highlight, parser improvement. So, once the basic things are ready, Lisgo will support other services.

Today, I found out the way to import your Instapaper list to Read it Later. I hope it works for people who want to use Lisgo to listen to the previous articles of Intapaper.
